Mr. Keech and 8th Grade Earth Science
wildkingdom
My love science was stemmed from wanting to grow up be either Jacque Cousteau or Marlin Perkins (Nobody ever wanted to be Jim).  When I was about 6, my grandpa gave me a dinosaur bone and within a week or so, I memorized every dinosaur name I could find.  By junior high, you could usually find me waist deep in a pond or lake.  In high school, I learned how to SCUBA dive and that landed me on Oahu studying seaweed.

                                 If I weren’t teaching I’d probably either be on Lanikai beach or more likely fulfilling my life’s dream of locating the cave that propelled Marshall, Will, and Holly into that nightmarish “Land of the Lost”.  Oh those wacky SLEESTAKS….
